I would recommend you do away with the ground beef and strictly use Italian
sausage. Once the sauce is finished, separate into two batches, one with
sweet Italian sausage (for the wussies), and another with hot Italian for
those who know what is good.

What no sausage?

Adding a good Italian sausage seems like a great idea. Just never tried
it. How would you modify the recipe for the addition?

Replace half the burger with sausage or to taste.

Caramelize the onion then in same pan brown the garlic, brreak up
and start browning the sausage, then the burger,
Deglaze the pan with red wine to get the stuck stuff off the bottom
and then add your other ingredients.

Now we're gettin' into the gourmet stuff ... red wine....humph!

[Thanks for the idea, though.]

I use hot italian link sausage, cut into edible size pieces after I brown
it.
